Ghostly Giants Painting

This scene depicts a feed mill in rural Wisconsin. I grew up in a small, farming community like this one and have lived in others like it of and on over the years. What pulled my eye to this location in particular was the wide variety of atmosphere and lighting situations offered by the town. It sits deep in a valley and is often blanketed by a cool fog in the early morning. Using the fog and atmospheric perspective, I was able to portray the massive scale of the silos. With my studio nearby, I had traveled up and down this road for five years and was finally able to capture the simple elegance of the quiet village.
